This is a beautiful film. It's no typical horror movie, in fact I would not classify it as horror at all. There are a few scares but if you expect permanently getting frightened you will be disappointed.
The film is visually very well done. The spirit of the setting and the time, a hospital in 1941 occupied Korea, is caught with much care for detail and in atmospheric images. The speed of the movie is rather slow and considerate. It consists of three episodes concerning various characters who are present at the hospital then. These three stories are independent from each other even though they overlap constantly as they happen almost simultaneously. This may occasionally appear somewhat confusing. One story does not contribute to the other's plot development. They are much rather linked by topic. In each episode one protagonist has to face the experience of love and loss. Each time, this character experiences how the boundaries between reality and dreams, the conscious and the subconscious, become blurred for him, and we as the viewers share this experience. Still, each story is unlike the other with entirely different outcomes. Ghosts play a role in each of them. There are moments of shock and horror for each of the protagonists when trying to deal with their losses but more than that they feel saddened and despaired, and there are moments of beauty and happiness when memories of what used to be emerge for a while.
It's a melancholy film much more than a horrifying one. A psychologically intense journey well worth watching.
